As a righteous Martial Arts Trainee I swear I will thoroughly follow the Guardian Black Belts Rules of Discipline and Rules of Manners and always lead by example to others.

RULES OF DISCIPLINE

 
First: Have a Righteous Mind
Martial Arts Trainee shall always have a righteous mind to tell right from wrong and behave justly.
 
Second: Do not become Greedy.
If I become greedy, my mind will become unbalanced. Thus I will make an unreasonable attack that will lead to an adverse counter-attack by my opponent.
 
Third: Do not become Angry.
If I become angry, I will lose correct judgment and will surrender control of my behavior. This will make me vulnerable to an attack by my opponent.
 
Fourth: Do not become Foolish.
If I become foolish, instead of acting in a righteous manner, I will become vulnerable to an opponent who uses deception or skillful methods.
